Front ported so don't mind being up against a wall/ ceiling.
That's a bit of an oversimplification. Rear ported would make them a very bad candidate for proximity to walls or ceilings but the reflection from each surrounding plane amplifies bass by 3db, so a corner near the ceiling is roughly 9db increase. Proximity affects the calculation obviously.
Overall sounds like a bad idea but i would probably make some kind of rest for the back lower edge maybe connect with a hinge and use chain to the wall at the top so I could change the angle.
I wouldn't ever actually do that though, seems a better choice to get a pair of speakers designed to be wallmounted.

@BrickMan
Anyone got a guide on do's and don't of making some wall mounts for some moderately heavy floorstanders (40 to 50 kg or so with weights in).
Is best practice to make the mount as solid as possible then still sit the speaker on its spikes? Probably going to want to angle them down and in a bit so likely will be bolted to the mounts. Or best to make it lightweight and then have the speaker bolted to it through something more insulating like a block of plywood?
